"This is what happened to me and my family one awful day in 2016: First, my lungs filled with blood clots. My blood-oxygen level dropped to nearly 80 percent, and doctors told me I might have a day to live. As I was literally wheeled into a cardiac ICU and told someone needed to

The next releases will likely become increasingly difficult, as Hamas started by releasing the hostages in good health first. What we saw today—clear images of starved, abused, and tortured men—will likely be repeated in the coming weeks. I can’t understand how this was allowed

The US is no longer a nation of small business. 53% of Americans work for big businesses now (with 500+ workers). That's a big shift from the 1980s/90s/early 2000s. The biggest change of all has been more people working for companies with 10,000+ workers and fewer people

NBC News: “In rural West Texas, a measles outbreak grows with no end in sight — At least 49 cases have been confirmed. Health officials — who are scrambling to get a handle on the vaccine-preventable outbreak — suspect 200 to 300 people may be infected.” nbcnews.com/health/health-…

Yes, there are dolphins in the East River! 🐬 Don't worry, dolphins regularly come to New York Harbor looking for food opportunities. More frequent dolphin sightings in New York show that the decades-long effort to restore our city’s waterways as a healthy habitat is working.

Sec Kennedy, you're incorrect. This *is* an unusual year for measles. This year has already passed 8 out of the past 15 years *annual* counts. We're only 2.5 months in. Rather than falsehoods, try publicly stating support for MMR. Today marks the first US measles death in 10 yrs

1/ Now that Mahmoud Khalil has been taken into ICE custody, his supporters are spinning a sob story about why you should feel sorry for him. Here’s why you shouldn’t—and why this is exactly what needs to happen to restore order to campuses like Columbia University and our country. 🧵👇

I learned this at Fight Colorectal Cancer the small request of $20M for CDMRP #colorectalcancer #cancerresearch. Look where #CRC ranks! Why are we the high incidence/high mortality CA with NO congressional directed medical research program (CDMRP) funding? I would rather prevent than treat.

The ACA was the greatest piece of legislation ever passed? Spare me. Such a claim is not merely hyperbolic, it is historically illiterate. The Affordable Care Act passed in 2010, was not a triumph of reform but a masterpiece of political theatre and economic distortion. It did

Cancer deaths continue to decline in the US What's behind it? Cancer prevention -- less smoking, hpv vaccines, behavioral changes, better screening And better cancer treatments Largely funded by NIH and carried out in research universities and academic medical centers

In 2000, measles was declared eliminated in the US. Not a single case in 12 months, largely due to successful vaccination campaigns. And here we are.

We are now approaching 900 official cases of measles This is already the 2nd worst measles outbreak of the 21st century — and we are only in April 94 hospitalized (mostly kids) 3 dead Our leaders need to be clear and unequivocal about how to end this: Vaccines

This is the asymmetry of information warfare Yesterday the BBC (and most of MSM) published stories claiming Israel killed 31 Gazans standing in line for food Today they correct it But 1000x more people will see the original and not the correction It’s blood libel by design
